Program Highlights

Welcome Back!

While we are starting our new school year up, we hope you won't forget about your child's faith formation. It is important that students attend all 8 years of RE as we learn a little more about the topics every year. We hope  that the new school year is a blessing to your family, and not a  burden. Here is a little more info:

RE 2024-2025

 Religious Education is an important part of your family's faith journey. We look forward to working with our families every fall because each new year brings us a renewed sense of enthusiasm for bringing your children closer to Jesus. We work together with parents to offer Faith Formation suited to your family's needs.

Our Religious Education sessions are held on Sundays and Mondays.  Sunday classes will include Mass for grades pre-school through eighth. Monday sessions will be offered for students in grades 1-8. We will have a Preschool and Kindergarten class on Monday at 5:00 PM, but not at the 7:00 PM session.

Our Family Faith session will meet one Tuesday a month from 7:00-8:15 for students in grades K-6. 

We still need help and we  hope any parent who has a child signed up for a classroom session, will be willing to assist in some way. We will need catechists, aides, hall monitors,  parking lot attendants, and office aides, but these helpers must be up to date with Safe Environment policies including Protecting God's Children and Mandated Reporter Training.

We are always looking for dedicated people who are willing to share their faith with our youngest parishioners. We provide all the tools you need to share your faith with the children.  You do not need to be a professional teacher, and if you need help, we are there for you! We can always use additional  substitutes and seasonal, event help as well so please contact the RE office if you would like to share your faith.

Right now, we ar looking for help with the following grades:

Sunday, Session A 9:00 to 9:55

Classroom Aides and Hall Monitors

Sunday, Session B 11:00-11:55

Classroom aides and Hall Monitors

Monday, Session A 5:00-6:00

Attendance Office, Classroom Aides, & Parking Lot Attendants

Monday, Session B 7:00-8:00

Classroom Aides and Hall Monitors

We thank you for being part of our program no matter how you are involved. Remember parents are the primary teachers and transmitters of the faith, so you can do this!

Thank you for all you do for your children, and may God bless you, keeping you healthy and safe throughout the new academic year.
